The Chicago Bulls officially announced today that the team has completed the contract extension with head coach Billy Donovan and will continue to move forward together.

Although the Chicago Bulls did not disclose the length and specific terms of the new contract, this move undoubtedly represents the management's trust and affirmation of Donovan's future coaching direction.

Donovan has led the team for five seasons since taking over in September 2020, with a record of 195 wins and 205 losses. Although the record is slightly less than ideal, with only one playoff trip, he has demonstrated a stable coaching style in terms of team restructuring and young player training.

Last season, the Chicago Bulls had a record of 15 wins and 5 losses at the end of the regular season. Although they ultimately lost to the Miami Heat in the play-in game and missed the playoffs, the team's overall progress was obvious to all.

In the past year, the Chicago Bulls completed a number of major trades, sending away DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Zach LaVine in order to build a faster and more dynamic lineup.

This offseason, the Chicago Bulls selected French rising star Noah Essenger with the 12th pick and traded the long-injured Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for defensive stalwart Isaac Okoro, continuing to upgrade their lineup.

Donovan has coached in the NBA for ten years, with a cumulative record of 438 wins and 362 losses. He led the Oklahoma City Thunder to the playoffs for five consecutive years and coached many superstars. Earlier, he created a brilliant history at the University of Florida and won two NCAA championships.

In September 2025, Donovan will be officially inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, adding more glory to his coaching career. The Chicago Bulls' contract extension with Donovan shows that the team is still confident in his leadership. It is worth looking forward to whether he can lead the team to rise again in the future.
